Washington - and that includes far more than Trump - just cannot stand the idea

There is nothing to fear from North Korea if it is just left

Russia has a small regular ferry service from its far east,

This is a manufactured crisis, manufactured by the same
folks who are right now trying to topple the elected government of Venezuela,
already toppled the elected government of Ukraine, bombs and pays rag-tag
armies of mercenaries in half a dozen countries, threatens a law-abiding Iran,
threatens Europe's economy with more aggressive sanctions against Russia, keeps
running up arms right at Russia's border, threatens China, sells an unbelievable
arsenal of weapons to godawful Saudi Arabia, supports Israel's endless
oppression of millions, and runs an industrial-scale murder program with its
drones.
